Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Even more Heineken tedium
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
It's another busy day. Sunday dinner won't cook itself. I'll quickly bash this off while the oven is warming up. Today we're looking at Heineken's boiling schemes. Of all the essential processes involved in brewing, hop additions are some of the post poorly recorded. Other than a few Barclay Perkins records from between the wars, I've almost no information. Which is why I was dead happy to find Heineken's pilot brewery records had full hopping details.
Oddly enough, the standard records which have almost nothing about process do note the hop charges. Just not the timings.
What's unusual is that a very high proportion of the hops were added late in the boil, a mere 20 minutes before the end. And very few hops were added early in the boil. Presumably creating beers with a fair amount of hop aroma but little in the way of bitterness.
Got to leave you now. Time for the beef to go into the oven.
